RNY vs DS
An Oldie, but a Goodie......
It never ceases to amaze me that one persons reason for getting a particular surgery, is another persons reason to NOT get that surgery.
RNY - I got the surgery so I'd dump and the fear of that would keep me away from sugar.
DS - I got the surgery so that I wouldn't dump.
RNY - I needed the restriction to correct my relationship with food.
DS - I didn't want the restriction because I want to enjoy my relationship with food.
RNY - I wanted/needed to change my eating habits.
DS - I've dieted my whole life -- I want to quit dieting.
RNY - I'm sick of dieting and failing.
DS - I'm sick of dieting and failing.
RNY - I want a tool that I can work.
DS - I want a surgery that does the work.
RNY - I didn't want to be able to cheat the surgery.
DS - I want to be able to 'cheat' from time to time.
RNY - I want to be healthy.
DS - I want to be healthy.
RNY - I didn't want someone cutting off my stomach.
DS - I don't want a blind stomach.
RNY - I don't want to have to eat massive amounts of food.
DS - I want to be able to eat what I want.
RNY - I needed to change my habits.
DS - I've been trying to change my habits my whole life!
RNY - I never want to eat sugar or fat again!
DS - I don't want sugar and fat to be 'off-limits'.
The best choice is an informed choice!
